Becoming Who You Are How to Cultivate Self-Trust: Advice from Rising Strong by Brené Brown - Becoming Who You Are A couple of weeks ago, Brené Brown published her latest book, Rising Strong. If you’ve been anywhere near the internet at some point over the last couple of years, you’ve probably seen her now-infamous TED talk on vulnerability. Rising Strong is the final book in a trilogy on how to live a whole-hearted life, following on from The Gifts of Imperfection and Daring Greatly. I won’t go into a synopsis of the book here (I shared more details in my Amazon review) but I highly recommend clearing your diary for this weekend to read all three titles. One of the topics Brené covers in Rising Strong, and the topic I want to share with you today, is trust. First of all, what is trust? It’s a word we all know and use but what does it mean in tangible terms? Brené quotes Charles Feltman, author of The Thin Book of Trust, who describes trust as “choosing to risk making something you value vulnerable to another person’s actions.” These ingredients are summarised with the (apt) acronym B.R.A.V.I.N.G.
Everything you never wanted to know about the mites that eat, crawl, and have sex on your face New Scientist published a story yesterday stating that rosacea – a common skin disease characterised by red blotches on one’s face – may be “caused” (more on this later) by “tiny bugs closely related to spiders living in the pores of your face.” Tiny bugs that “crawl about your face in the dark”, lay eggs in your pores, and release a burst of faeces when they die. This is the terrifying world of the Demodex mite. And by “terrifying world”, I mean your face. For anyone who wants to know more, and who isn’t currently clawing at their cheeks or bleaching their head (health tip: don’t), here’s everything you never wanted to know about your face-mites. Say hello to my little friend Mites are relatives of ticks, spiders, scorpions and other arachnids. Both species are sausage-shaped, with eight stubby legs clustered in their front third. These mites are our most common ectoparasites (those that stay on the surface of our bodies, rather than burrowing inside). A mite-y existence They crawl!

Psychological Studies | Links to hundreds of Psychology studies running on the internet | Online Psychology Research Ltd La vulnérabilité SFFaudio Dilbert principle Satirical observation by Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams Definition[edit] In the Dilbert comic strip of February 5, 1995, Dogbert says that "leadership is nature's way of removing morons from the productive flow". Adams himself explained,[1] I wrote The Dilbert Principle around the concept that in many cases the least competent, least smart people are promoted, simply because they’re the ones you don't want doing actual work. Comparative principles[edit] The Dilbert principle can be compared to the Peter principle. The Dilbert principle, by contrast, assumes that hierarchy just serves as a means for removing the incompetent to "higher" positions where they will be unable to cause damage to the workflow, assuming that the upper echelons of an organization have little relevance to its actual production, and that the majority of real, productive work in a company is done by people who rank lower.

Shannon Larratt is Zentastic › I can scarcely move or draw my breath // Let me, let me freeze again to death As the saying goes, “by the time you read this I’ll be dead.” Caitlin has probably posted it by my request, or it’s been posted as part of a dead-man switch. I have known this was coming for years, at times even hoped for it, and most of that time I haven’t ever been afraid of it, although as it’s grown closer I’ve felt equal parts dread and relief, with a little bit of panic mixxed in. I wish I could have lived much, much longer as there is still so much I want to do and see and be a part of, although in the time I had I could not have asked for a more wonderful life. I’ve had the opportunity to do remarkable things, see my dreams made real and changed the world and the lives of many for the better, loved and been loved, and have an amazing daughter who I hope will have her own wonderful life. I have mixed feelings about the medical treatment that I’ve received. In any case, on body modification, I hope that others will continue this mission. Live Long and Prosper! Love always,
Type Four — The Enneagram Institute We have named this type The Individualist because Fours maintain their identity by seeing themselves as fundamentally different from others. Fours feel that they are unlike other human beings, and consequently, that no one can understand them or love them adequately. They often see themselves as uniquely talented, possessing special, one-of-a-kind gifts, but also as uniquely disadvantaged or flawed. More than any other type, Fours are acutely aware of and focused on their personal differences and deficiencies. Healthy Fours are honest with themselves: they own all of their feelings and can look at their motives, contradictions, and emotional conflicts without denying or whitewashing them. They may not necessarily like what they discover, but they do not try to rationalize their states, nor do they try to hide them from themselves or others. While it is true that Fours often feel different from others, they do not really want to be alone. “I collapse when I am out in the world.
